Personal opinion ahead: The weed will probably be destroyed, but it would've been better if AA legalized it in Rakhine. Even Trump knows it's not bad in contrast to opium and heroin. I also hope that those contraceptives will be freely distributed.

What happened to the International Kawnghka Development Company and its livestock export enterprise?

Reposting due to additional information

A bilingual Chinese sign for an animal quarantine facility in Kawnghka is visble 58 seconds in January 2024 b-roll footage from a Myanmar Now report covering TNLA's pivot towards MAL. This footage was taken by Myanmar Now photographers judging by the quality and the presence of similar photos on their site.

Looking into this more, the International Kawnghka Development Company (based in Kawnghka village in Kutkai Township [国际拱卡地区发展有限公司/အပြည်ပြည်ဆိုင်ရာ ကောင်းခါးဒေသ ဖြိုးတိုးတတ်ရေး ကုမ္ပဏီလီ]) filed papers with the Myanmar Investment Commission 8 days after the coup and 1 year, 3 weeks after China and Myanmar signed a Quarantine protocol for the export of livestock to China. The company later received official license on November 13, 2021. It seems that the pro-junta Kachin Defence Army had a stake in this company until it surrendered to the KIA in 2023 after being beaten by TNLA.

Question is: what happened to this company and/or the facility?

Rohingya Gen Z have started an online protest on April 23rd to demand an investigation into Dil Mohammad and the RCPR

Edit: Grammar

Dil Mohammad (not to be confused with missing activist Dil Mohammed) is the chairman of the "Rohingya Committee for Peace and Repatriation." Bengali-British investigative journalist, Shafiur Rahman, documented his actual past.

Dil Mohammad was born in That Kaing Nyar, Maungdaw Township, where he first worked as a laborer for the Thet community. Then, he rose up the ranks and handled negotiations with the Tat for a businessman named Mohammed Rashid until he was detained by the Nasaka. After that, Dil Mohammad managed government-controlled fish traps and extorted money from people wanting to use these traps.

Eventually, Dil Mohammad became a thabbey/dalan after a prison stint where he threatened affluent people in Maungdaw and Buthidaung with false legal cases; he continued his smuggling activities. Sometime between 2005-10, he "allegedly" raped a Thet woman, but his junta connections prevented any trial. In 2014, he was sent to prison on an unknown charge.

Released in 2019 or 2020, he expanded into yaba and gold smuggling. He helped transfer 500 guns from the Tat to the RSO at some point. The Arakan Army snatched him for 3 months before 2024, but his reputation of fear among people led to a release via a ransom.

Fast forward to the Battle of Maungdaw and the capture of his ally, Brigadier General Thurein Tun, Dil Mohammad fled to the Bangladesh camps where he presents himself as a representative and protector for refugees. Finally, he is responsible for conceptualizing the "Four Brothers Alliance"- a coalition where ARSA, RSO, Rohingya Islami Mahaz, and Arakan Rohingya Army banded together to only fight Arakan Army.
